Computable general equilibrium models: An optimal planning perspective

Land Use in Computable General Equilibrium Models: An Overview*

A Complementarity Approach to Solving Computable General Equilibrium Models

Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models play a central role in modern economic modeling, bearing on a wide range of important applications in international climate and trade policies, growth and development of countries, national income distribution and equality studies. We formulate a canonical CGE model as a complementarity problem and introduce CIM-EARTH, a collection of open-source exte...

Sustainability Impact Assessment: the Use of Computable General Equilibrium Models

This paper advocates computable general equilibrium (CGE) models as an analytical framework that is suitable for assessing the impacts of policy interference on the three dimensions of Sustainable Development, i.e. environmental quality, economic performance and equity. Methodological extensions of standard CGE models are illustrated that may strengthen the role of CGE models in measuring polic...

Integrating bioenergy into computable general equilibrium models: a survey

In the past years biofuels have received increased attention since they were believed to contribute to rural development, energy security and to fight global warming. It became also clear, though, that bioenergy cannot be evaluated independently of the rest of the economy and that national and international feedback effects are important. Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models have been wi...

Trade Liberalization and International Competitiveness in Iran: An Application of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Model

 Trade liberalization is often the core attention of foreign economic strategies in developing countries. Findings in the literature confirm a significant effect of free trade on developing economies through which the economic sectors benefit from technology transfer and spillovers and increasing production capacities and input productivity leading to international competitiveness. On the other...
